WOOD?? is that safe?

Contributor: Cherry21 Cherry21
ok, so I was wondering how the wood toys are safe enough to use. Seems like wood would be the worst idea for a toy, since its so porous and rots (as wood does!!). So, is it coated with something, or is there a special kind of wood used? or are these toys made to be replaced pretty soon after purchase?

There are lots of threads on this already, just do a forum search of "wood safe"---and I've got details in both of my NobEssence reviews up (Romp and P Spot Flogger).

Basically, they've got a completely waterproof coating. So because no water/oxygen can ever get in, the wood will neither rot, nor expand/contract (which is what would cause splinters). So they really are good forever, with no splinters.

Just don't chip the coating (I've found mine to be pretty durable) or you'll have to retire it to sculpture-only status.

We use wood regularly and have had no problems with it!

If the person used the appropriate finish, it would be safe. The key would be making sure that the finish was properly applied.

I have always felt drawn to beautiful wood pieces. I even remember as a child loving one of my grandmothers bowls because it was made of hand carved wood. For me, wood feels alive. It's grains and patterns make each piece unique. It has a richness and a personality beyond anything that was coldly and impersonally stamped out in a machine somewhere. I love wood's ultra smooth satiny finish, so silky and warm, never cold and impersonal. Until very recently I didn't know wooden toys existed, but now that I know, I'm very excited to get a unique piece for myself.
